Matt pumpfake's looking at the gold line. He throws it into the m zone.
Touchdown Seahawks.
It's Michael Bumpas with a diving catch in the end zone. A ten yard touchdown reception for Bumpers, and the kid out of Washington State has found himself.
A place on this team. Now, here's your host, NASA Chopie. Welcome into another edition of Hawk Talk.
He's Michael Bumpus, some NASA showby the Seahawks Week fifteen, getting ready to take on the Green Bay Packers on Sunday Night football from Blomenfield. We are broadcasting live from the Seahawks Podcast Studio, presented by Sony, the official partner of the Seattle Seahawks.
Bump and it feels good right now, there's some good mojo on you.
Yeah, man four and oh you know, we spent some time in the studio and it was dark.
I know the lights are bright, but it was dark with bitness.
Piece man, and they're playing some goodball and it's consistent, like the defense is consistent every week. I'm waiting. I go, all right, man, when's the falloff gonna happen? Isn't gonna happen?
Right?
But it has it? Man, So that that's good to see.
No, they are playing at an incredibly high level. I've said it on our last podcast. I'll continue to say it. When the Seahawks are playing the way that they're playing right now, they can beat anyone in the National Football League.
And you know, why don't we start on Sunday national audience?
Why a lot of people let them know, Mike Trico, Collinsworth, everybody action, Green jerseys of it?
Come on, baby, what's on tap? What's on tap?
Talking about these Green Bay Packers. They are nine to four, third place in the NFC North. They've lost to the Eagles, Vikings, Lions twice. They have wins over the Colts, Titans, Rams, Cardinals, Texans, Jaguars, Bears, forty nine Ers, and the Dolphins.
Bump and pretty entertaining game that they played last Thursday. Night.
Yeah, man, before we get into that, you send me this. No, people are hyping these guys up. Green Bay Packers. Good football team, it's not gonna absolute football team. Not disrespecting them at all, but they got good losses and they look at the Seahawks losses and they say, well, they don't have good losses. So you know, we'll see how that squares up tonight or Sunday night.
I should say, yeah, no, see, I'll get it to it a second. But people need to really look at the numbers.
Yeah, look at numbers, looking numbers, all right, Packers in lines, man, this is one of the best, if not the best Thursday night football game of the season. It came down to the wire. Dan Campbell once again doing some crazy stuff. Man, Dan Campbell. It was thirty one thirty one. They're facing a fourth and one from the Packers twenty one yard line with forty three seconds left on the clock. My man says, you know what, we're gonna go for it. Ninety nine percent of coaches would have said, you know, let's kick the field goals, lift to fight another day. Not Dan Campbell. He went for and David Montgomery picked up seven yards and the first down, Montgomery barely got the handoff because God fell down.
I was looking at the rules, I'm like, is he down?
He did get touched, but it was by his teammates, so he should be good to go. But Twitter was going crazy talking about he should have been down. Learned the rules before you speak, always like before something. Always handed to my wife and say, rethe this this makes sense.
To you college college who have been down. I'm not.
I'm just saying he would have been down to college, been out there, but uh no, he handed the football offense.
They picked the the first down. Would you have done that at Monroe High School? Pack?
No, it's on the foot, there's no chs on the foot, the kickers warming up on third down, and he's already ready to go.
It wasn't like they were at the forty nine yard line. They're like, oh, we're kind of on the edge here. He just wanted to end the game. And Campbell's nuts for that and good for him.
The way that they play, and that's I can't live on that edge because it looks great when you convert.
Yeah, it's stressful.
Yeah, NFC Championship game, just saying, yeah, he didn't learn from that, but he is who he is.
I expect that.
I absolutely respect it because you're right, that is who he is. And uh yeah, Packers obviously going to lose that football game. Jared GoF finished today thirty two of forty one to eighty three, three touchdowns, one pick. Josh Jacobs, who were going to talk about he had three tuds? Josh Jacobs, I have bad memories.
But that man Raiders three hundred yards of total offense, the game winning run, and we were in the south end zone watching it all go down.
The line just opened up and he was out of there. Yeah, that was rough man.
So anyway, we don't need to be reintroduced to Josh Jacobs because we know how good he is. But Bump, you alluded to it. You brought up the Packers losses. So they do have four losses on the season. I said the Eagles, Vikings and Troit Lions twice. Now, I've heard a lot of talk to some good losses. Now they are great losses, right, All those teams they have a combined record of forty six and six, so when they do lose, they're only losing to the cream of the crop. Really good football teams. They've only lost those games by an average of five points. Now for me, Bump, I'm sorry. Losses are losses. Doesn't matter if you could beat by five hundred or if you get beat by one, the same as CFP no exactly some collegeball playoffs in twelve teams, losses are losses. Though I don't understand why they're greting getting as much credit for those losses as they are, because, like I said, there's still four losses. But here's the part I want to pay attention to pay attention to their wins.
Let's look at the wins.
Okay, they've actually only beat two teams with winning records of their nine games, the Rams and the Texans. And then when you total their nine wins, those opponents have a combined winning percentage of four to eighteen forty nine and sixty eight record, So not very good. Some would say, I don't know who they beat. Now, let's look at the Seahawks for context. Seahawks have beat one team of the winning record, the Broncos, and when you total their eight wins the Seahawks have those opponents have combined for a winning percentage of four to twenty three, forty four and sixties slightly better than the Packers. So maybe we shouldn't just praise the Packers for good losses. We got to look at who they beat. And I'm not disparaging them at all. We're gonna spend time going through how good of a football team, saying, let's just be fair about the situation.
Exactly, let's stop getting credit for losses. Who did they beat?
It's the same conversation because everyone's hammering the Seahawks, say, and they haven't beaten anyone. Yeah, And we're also not taking ato account when we played these teams. Falcons run a heater when we played the first time we played the Niners, they're good playing good.
For Cardinals for four game winning streak when we played them first time.
Exactly all those teams actually had a winning anyway. So it is what it is. I'm just saying my piece. I'll get up my soapbox, but pay attention to who they beat. Okay, when you're going through this bump us side bout the head head.
All right, let's look at these these teams by the numbers. The Packers a good offense, the sixth offense in the game, averaging three hundred and sixty excuse me, seventy six yards per game. They are the fifth rush offense, the tenth passing offense, and seventh when it comes to putting up points twenty six points per game. The Seahawks are thirteenth overall, twenty seventh when it comes running the rock. We might have found something known when it comes running the rock, third when it comes to passing offense, fifteenth when it comes to scoring two hundred two hundred will be nice. They're scoring two hundred gay twenty three points per game. Defensively, is kind of where evens out a little bit. Packers thirteenth overall, Seahawks eighteenth overall. But the jump defensively has been great for the Seahawks.
Oh yeah, I mean there's reason why we're looking at the numbers since like week nine. Yeah, because that's really telling the story about where the Seahawks is right now. If you're looking at the Seahawks from an outside perspective, you're staying damn. They're twenty seventh in rush offense and they're twenty first in run defense. But that's not telling a story about where this team currently sits defensively. The Packers are also really good man their thirteenth to total defense, ninth against the run, twenty first against the pass, and ninth in points allowed. But where they accel bump.
Takeaways, turnover ways.
They are plus nine and turnover differential for context Seahawks or minus four. They have twelve interceptions and they're in the tops in the league at taking the ball away, so they're very good there and their defense. As long as the Seahawks can protect the football, I think that'll be the big factor in this.
Their defense is pretty good.
Watching film with them against the Detroit Lions at the Miami Dolphins, their safety plays crazy. We'll talk about Xavier mckennum sure, who flies around and makes plays. Their safety play is really good. They love to play man. They're gonna be sticky on coverage. Their defense deserves all the love they're getting.
Yep.
So the Seahawks definitely will have their hands full with the Packers defense. These two teams they don't play every year, but they definitely have a complicated history, no your history. Packers lead the all time series fifteen to nine. They're eight and twelve in the regular season in a one to three edge on the Seahawks in the postseason, The Packers have won five of the last six matchups, but this matchup has been dominated by the home team. The Seahawks have not won a Lambeau Field since nineteen ninety nine, coach Holgren's first year. So it's been a little while. Ten game losing streaks, some not good moments. I don't need to get into those. I think everyone is pretty well aware of them. On the flip side, though, Packers haven't won in Seattle since Michael Bumpus was returning punts in two thousand and eight.
I remember that we lost that game you did. That's the last time I remember. I drew a illegal hands to the face there. I got pressed a line of scrimmage hands to the face. My helmet was like, sighways, hassleback fields are the football.
I can't see it. But we got them. We got the penalty.
Okay, So it's I'm just saying that because it's been a long time. M hm. So the Seahawks have won the last four games at lew Field, so hoping we see more of that. This last out between matchup between these two teams. Not a great game a Lambeau Seahawks were shout out seventeen zero in Week ten twenty twenty one season. If you guys remember this from Russell Wilson. He broke his finger. Yeah, came back in only three or four weeks. He wasn't ready to go in terms of how he was playing. His twenty and forty one to sixty one, zero touchdowns, two interceptions. Both of those came in the end zone. Very costly there. Gerald Everett was your leading receiver. Alex Collins, dress In Peace led the team in rushing ten carries forty one yards. Aaron Rodgers didn't even play very good. He was twenty three or thirty seven two ninety two and a pick. And aj Dillon was the leading ball carrier. So forgettable game in Lambeufield. I'm hoping that tide changes whenever we go down there next. Yeah, but it's all about what happens in Luminfield. But let's turn our attention to what's going on in the NFC West.
What's the word and the Seahawks?
So the NFC West champs again.
What's the word? In the West? On Hawk top?
The Hawks still at the top of the division eight and five, The Rams are seven and six to Cardinals, and the Niners are both six and seven. The Hawks maintained their division lead after beating the Cardinals last week. The Hawks now essentially have a three game leader on the Cardinals given the tiebreaker. The forty nine ers in the Rams face off tonight on Thursday Night Football, which could have big implications for the division rates. Let's talk about what happened last week. We're watching the game. We are begging, begging for the Bills. Come on, Bills, hook us up, Bills, come through the Bills. That's not what happened. It was a crazy game, man. The Bills came into this game with a seven game winning streak, and if you want a defense that's saying for you forty four forty two, that think was crazy. Josh Allen Allen with nuts twenty two to thirty seven, three hundred and forty two yards, three touchdowns. He also had eighty two rushing yards on ten carries in three touchdowns six total touchdowns. He became the first player in NFL history with three passing touchdowns and three rushing tds in a game, six touchdowns, eight and nuns Is nineteen fifty four, nineteen fifty four. I was listening to herm Edwards talk. He said he was born in nineteen fifty four.
I'm not herm you don't look that old though. Her good, Yeah, her looks good. Her looks good.
But what Trailing thirty eight to thirty five with three minutes fifty three seconds left in the game, the Rams were facing fourth and five from the Bill's thirty five yard lines. The officials missed an obvious false start. It was crazy, it was so obvious. The Rams converted and eventually going on into the end zone. The Bills scored of the next drive, but didn't recover the on side kick, and the Rams held on for the forty four to forty two When Matthew Stafford was twenty three of thirty three twenty and two touchdowns. Pooka he might be the best receiver on that team. Now, no disrespect to Cooper Cup, an all time great, probably gonna be in the Hall of Fame, but Pooka's taken over man. Twelve receptions, one hundred and sixty two yards, two touchdowns. It was one receiving everyone rush and he did it. It was wild to see that game.
Yeah, Puka's killing it on hundred and sixty yards. He's doing it every every week, and the Rams, man, they're frustrating from an NFUS rival standpoint because you're not always sure what team's gonna show up. But every time you lace them up against them, they can beat any team. They're just the way they're coached by Sean McVay, the way their defense has enough guys here and there, even without Aaron Donald, they'll make you pay at any given time. I mean, you look at their effort against the Bills and then you look at them against the Dolphins a couple of weeks ago, up and down. Obviously in the Seahawks game, I feel that was the game Seahawks gave away. But it is what it is, and the Rams currently have the tie breaker over the Seahawks right now, Obviously, the Seahawks and Rams play Week eighteen, final game of the season, so we'll see hopefully the Rams. Though again, we're not rooting for the forty nine ers, Lenna, be very clear about that. We are really calling it for the Rams to lose.
Yeah, you're rooting for the Rams to lose against the forty nine ers. They both can't lose. I mean they could tie.
I guess I take what does the tie do you do that math, the ties models things up. I mean a tie is a tie is better than a win, but it's still kind of like it still.
Makes it still complicated.
Confusing broadcasting line from Seahawks Podcast Studio presented by Sony, the official partner of the Seattle Seahawks. The other matchup in the NFC West was the Bears taking on the forty nine Ers.
Four.
Nines were down bad for a couple of weeks.
Man, they lost three in a row, fell last place in the division. But they're able to get back on track. They smacked around the Bears thirty eight ten. This was the first game after Matt ever Fluss was let go. Bears have now lost seven in a row. Niners were outscored by fifty three points previous two weeks. They took out some frustrations on the Bears are up twenty four NH. In halftime, George Kittle went off party had a good day, one, Jennings had a good day. Cale Williams okay, shout out to Roman though two touchdowns all right, I won't say that, but go ahead wrong Well anyway, Like I said, that sets up the table for Thursday Night football.
Rams forty nine ers.
Both teams can't lose, So we're rooting for the Rams as a Seahawks fan, for the Rams to lose, because if the Rams lose on Thursday, and the Seahawks win the next three games, they will have wrapped up the NFC West be before that matchup against the.
Rams, locked up the real naked choke hole. Gotta tap out.
I don't want to pass out, I mean, so hopefully we're hoping that happens for the Seahawks. Obviously, we'll see what happens paying attention to that, so we'll stay locked in, but will try our attention back to the Greenmay Packers coming into lum min Field.
Man up, Hey, who you got? Who you got? You know what time it is? Man up? Man up, brother, man up man up on Hawk Talk Seahawks. Jordan Love taking on this defense. Jordan Love.
You been in the league a twenty twenty one but didn't become the full time starter or the guy till last season when the Packers finally moved on Ran Rodgers.
Packers shocked the NFL.
They make it to the playoffs, they go nine to eight, they win a game, they honestly should have beat the forty nine ers in that divisional game. They were unable to get that done. So coming in this year, they weren't gonna surprise anybody. They were favored to be a good team in that division. And despite missing two games, Jordan Love is still doing pretty well. He's got these top ten in touchdown passes with twenty one. He's six in the NFL in touchdown percentage and passing touchdowns per game, and over the last four games he's got a one to eighteen passer rating nine hundred and four yards, six touchdowns, one interception. He ranks third in passer rating over that span. But the thing that stands out about their off and Jordan Love, it's them as a unit as a whole. I'm gonna rip off some stats about the Niners being a top ten offense yards per game, they're six yards per play, their third passing yards per play, their third. Sacks allowed per passing atteenth or third in the NFL. They're only getting sack four point three percent of the place, so they're protecting Jordan Love. They're averaging twenty six points a game, that's seventh the NFL. They've allowed only two sixteen sacks, second in the NFL, and they're also explosive. They're fifth in explosive runs with forty two, fourth in explosive plays total. So the Seahawks are definitely going to have to They're gonna have their hands fall against. His offense is gonna be the best offense they faced in a little while.
Love looks good. He'll turn the football over if you get to him. But that's if you get to him. You just mentioned only sixteen sacks on the season, that's second in the game. But if you get to him. He's got that young mentality. You know, when you're young, you take more chances in life. Right, That's what I see when I see Jordan Love. He'll make some throws that I go, you probably shouldn't have made that throw, but you're athletic enough to where you're able to pull it off. That's what I'm banking on. I need him to throw some things up and let it go. And they pushed the ball down the field. It was something like nine point four yards per intended air yards. And when he throws the football, which is fourth in the NFL behind Jameis Winston, Trevor Lawrence, and Anthony Richards, is surprising I would not have thought those three will be in front of him, but yeah, they will push the ball down the field. He likes to hit the sidelines. He likes to the moyer stad. We used to talk about brock Purdy all the time. Outside of the numbers, he will hit the middle, but it likes the outside. So there should be some opportunities out there for the secondary, all right. Geno Smith Man, Gino Smith coming off another really solid performance.
He was twenty four to thirty two hundred and thirty.
Three yards, one touchdown, second consecutive game no turnovers.
Man, we know this.
First time all season. He also completed eighty percent of his passes, best all season. Right now, Geno's in fifth place in franchise history and attempts, completion, his passing yards, and passing touchdowns. Gino needs just one three hundred yard game to ty Russell Wilson for the most three hundred yard games in a single season in franchise history with five. Here's Gino when it comes to the numbers in the league in attempts, second and completions, he is second.
In passing yards, He's second.
Completion percentage, he is fifth sixty nine point five percent if he can get to seventy percent, he's already doing some things that Russell has done and creeping up on him. If he can get to seventy percent of the year, that's something Russell has never done.
That's a tip of the cat for him.
So he's going up against his Packers defense thirteenth and total defense twenty first against the pass ball security, job security. Green Bay is tied for third in takeaways, they're tied for eighth in interceptions, they're tied for second and fumble recoveries. They're plus nine in the turnover differential. Take care of the rock you should you should be okay, take it a ruck, take care of the rock you want to chance late in the game, hold on to the day football.
You just gotta be intentional about it, because you know, people talk about turnovers coming in bunches obviously and being in the right place at the right time. Two things about defense. When you have this many turnovers, you're doing more than just getting lucky. You're in the right place all the time, and you are practically actively taking care of taking the football away. That's you know, for those who have played football, that's turnover circuit. That's pursuit drill. That's all this stuff you're actively trying to change off. Punch it out, and they're doing it, and then the Ballhawks over that. They won the turnover differential in eight games this season. They're seven to one under the floor when winning. I butchered that.
Floor.
I go a flir, I got I got a floor, you know, mix it up, put some spice on that thing, you know, So take you're right, take care of themn football and the Seahawks will definitely be good packers.
Number one of the league points off turnovers this season with ninety seven, So if you want to take care of that, we're broadcasting live from the Seahawks Podcast Studio, presented by Sony, the official partner of the Seattle Seahawks this NFL season. Feel every play, every hit, every moment with the Sony one thousand XM five noise canceling headphones, the official partner.
Of the Seattle Seahawks.
With premium noise cancelation, You're in the zone, no distractions, just pure football. Whether you're in your living room or on the go. You'll never miss a beat with Sony headphones. Bump this run game, no joke to it.
Earlier.
Josh Jacobs still got nightmares from that twenty twenty two game against the Seahawks when he was playing for the Raiders. He is a former first round pick from Alabama. Ranks third in the NFL was one thousand and fifty three rushing yards. Derrick Henry and Saquan Really taking this guy shine.
Man on any other year like an average year, right, Josh Jacobs is a national treasure right now. But you know Sakwonda what he doing and d Henry, Hey, you gotta wit your turns, yuh.
It's tough. But anyway, he's obviously killing the game. He's registered fourth one thousand yard rushing season of his career, tied for the second most in the NFL since he entered the league in twenty nineteen. The only other person Derrick Henry. He's tied for fifty the NFL this season with eleven rushing tds. He's supposed to a rushing touchdown in four straight games. And the thing about him, too, man, is he is tied for eighth in the NFL the season and explosive runs. He's got eighteen explosive runs. He's also he's really good yakyards after the catch. So here's the thing, man, with Josh Jacobs, you gotta tackle. Yeah, that sounds so simple. I it sounds like great analysis. You got to tackle him.
Yeah, but he's physical. He's not a guy you can arm tackle.
But what I love about it is the Seahawks run defense has shown you, now in five straight weeks, that they can get that done. They're playing at a high level. Since Week nine, they're allowing just ninety seven rush yards per game. That's nineth in the NFL. They have not allowed one hundred yard rusher since James Cook in Week eight. So overall, the Seahawks ring twenty first in the NFL in rush defense. But that hasn't shown you what they've been doing. So I think they're up for the task. They put it on tape week after week after week, so I'd expect them to contain Josh Jay Gibbs, not completely shut him down, but contain him.
You gotta tackle him.
He's broken twenty seven tackles, that second amongst running backs behind Derrick Henry. He's got about six hundred and seven yards when it comes to the yards after contact behind Derrick Henry. So yeah, you say tackle is simple, but no, you really got to do that because he won't break tackles and he's good after contact. Let's shift our focus to the Packers receivers against the Seahawks secondary. The Packers definitely have some talented receivers, but haven't had a legit number one since Devonte Adams left. Adams was the last receiver to hit a thousand yards during the twenty twenty one season. Leading the charge for the Packers this season is former Michigan receiver Jaden Reid. Re leads the Packers in both receptions and receiving yards. Retied a single game career high with two receiving touchdowns in Week thirteen, giving him fourteen for his career, tied for the third most by a Packer in his first two NFL seasons. Read is tied for number five in the NFL with three receptions of fifty plus yards.
I told you they gonna air that thing out.
Read is tied for fifth in the NFL and twenty five plus yard receptions this season. So far this year four to four receptions, six hundred and ninety three yards and six touchdowns. And they got to get tight end over there. There's a trend. Most offenses have a tight end who's getting her done. The tight end position is evolving, and Tucker Kraft is a great example that he has seven receiving touchdowns, he has three hundred and fifty seven yards after the catch, He has thirteen averages, thirteen point four yards per reception and nine point two yards per reception. This dude is he's something special. They got a bunch of receivers like there's no real like, yeah, okay, thousand yard receiver. But they got a guy with four hundred, a guy with five hundred, Christian Watson, that's five. You got Romeo Dobbs with four hundred dy three and two touchdowns. They spread the ball out. So sometimes you look at a team and if they don't have a guy with a thousand yards saying all that past game is week I look at the way they spread the football around, and I look at the back end. Y'all gotta be on point because they will deconduct and they will take their shots. You know where Matt Lafleur, he's from that Shanahan tree, Shanahan Tree. He gonna find ways to get these guys the ball. So it's by committee. When you look at this receiving corps.
Yeah, and even Tucker Kraft. You think tight end, he's got some. He's got two catches for over six yards this year, so even he can get you in explosive.
So to your I think that's a great point.
They they're not going to have the DeVante Adams justin Jefferson, but as a collective unit, every one of them can play. Everyone can get got. So the Seahawk secondary needs to be on point. We know they will flipping it over to the Seahawks receivers jsnd metcalf and the Packers secondary led by Xavier McKinney.
Now jas En dude can play. Yeah cool, Yeah, we'll get to him a second.
Jason Mister consistent last week five receptions eighty two yards a touchdown set a single season career high with five touchdowns. He's now six in the NFL and receiving yards nine to eleven. Continues to climb in the charts, Ninth in receptions at seventy five. He needs just eighty nine yards become the first time in his year to get a thousand yards. He'll be the tenth player in franchise history to do that. Then you got DK metcalf. His production slowed down a little bit, but again every week he's still making big receptions. He's averaging fifteen yards per reception, which is eighth in the NFL with a minimum of forty seven receptions. He also has a ten plus yard reception in every game he's played in this season. DK needs just one touchdown to pass Steve Largin for the most touchdowns and players first six season in franchise history forty seven. So I'm waiting for DK to have a breakout game. I know what's coming, waiting for that, really want to see. So he's having a quiet year and he's gonna go for one thousand this year. He's a eight twelve, he's gonna get a thousand, going to.
Get a thousand this year.
And if he didn't get hurt, but if he might, he might have he might have twelve hundred.
Now.
Yeah, so definitely interesting to see there. But they're going up against the secondary that is taking the ball away.
Who are they?
Led by Xavier McKinney. TIFVERD League lead the interceptions with seven. He ranks number one with eight total takeaways. He's also got a fumble recovery there. First player in team history. Racer interception in his first five games in the Green Bay uniform. Was also the first player in NFL history since the nineteen seventy merger with an interception in his first five games with a team.
Dude's a ballhawk, Yeah, man, he flies around. He got he got good hair for it too, like half his blond half as black. Got the dress like. He looks like a dude who will find the football. If I was going to build a safety on Madden, it probably looked like him.
But yeah, safety play is going to be good. These guys are solid, good to go, all right.
Let's look at Zach Sharbney and Ken Walker. Man Sharviney said, listen, one thirty one, okay, one two touchdowns.
This is what I do, all right. For the first time.
This week one, the Seahawks had one one hundred yard rusher against the Cardinals. The Seahawks rush as a team for one hundred and seventy six yards, which was a season high and the most rushing yard since the final two games of the twenty twenty two season, when the Hawks rush for one ninety eight and one ninety seven. Leading The charge for the Seahawks was Zach Scharbaay just mentioned it. One hundred and ninety three yards from scrimmage, one thirty four in the ground. I said, one thirty one my bad, short short, three my bad, and fifty nine yards shoot the air. Career highs in every category. The Seahawks are obviously hoping to repeat that performance. But the Seahawks, excuse me, The Packers have a solid defense. The Packers have the leadst ninth best rushing defense, allowing just one oh six on the ground. The biggest question mark is Knwalker gonna play. We're waiting to see. If he does play, you gotta one two combo. If he doesn't play, you still might have a one two combo because Kenny Mack return of the back that needs to be nat You know what I'm gonna sing.
That for on my birthday tomorrow? All right? Carry? Oh, let's get it. Kenny had thirty eight yards on just seven carries.
He have his five point four yards per carry, including a sixteen yard run. He had a couple of receptions too, So Kenny Mack he's in there.
No, I think the Seahawks are. They're good to go up the ring back position. Obviously, this team is better with number nine out there. Yeah, for showing will tell me different show they're trying to, some are trying to. I'm like, listen, don't forget about what Ken does.
Zach. Happy for Zach, and I hope he continues.
Absolutely, But I'd rather have a one to two combo than just relying on one.
Dude.
They're both second round picks for a reason because they can both tolte the pill and they're good at running the ball. So they compliment each other because of their styles are different. Yeah, they can both Ken Walker can also operate in a system when they're pinning and pulling and they're.
Doing some of the stuff we saw last week.
Yeah, so let's kind of dispel that rumor that like, yeah, the only so anyway, we got love for all of them. We love for the whole room. That's what we're saying. Yeah, twenty six, twenty five nine. They can all run the pill, they can all do their thing, and they can help the Seahawks get a much needed victory. Let's tell him other and you get a done bump at the victory.
After forty five waits for the snack packer, En push it down.
That kick is away. If that kick is gone. Good day, ak Quinn fit gun. It's a pass to victory. On Hawk Talk once.
Again, the Seahawks are facing the biggest challenge of the season this time and it will be in front of a national audience on Sunday Night football. Come on, a win, we'll bring the Seahawks step closer in an NMFC West title. I've kind of spelled it out already. Seahawks win the next three, the Rams lose. You might wrap up the division before that last game, but at the end of the day, none of that matters if you just keep winning ball games. Seahawks are in the driver's seat in the NFC West and it starts to Sunday with a very tough Packers team.
Yeah, man, you gotta force jard Love to make bad decisions. He's shown he can do that. He's a young man, he's still learning the position, but he's their franchise quarterback.
Again. The Greenway Packers have found their guy.
He has eleven interceptions on the season, so let's make him turn the ball over and then limit the explosive plays. Green Bay is fourth in the NFL with explosive plays. That offense, you're gonna see guys motioning from left to right, release into the flag, turning it up. You're gonna see guys motion from right close to the line of scrimmers them back out. It's gonna look similar to Niners, Rams, Lions. They all have something in common. They love the style offense.
And the cool thing about the way this defense is playing is we haven't seen exposive plays. We haven't. Early in the season it was run after what. We're not seeing that anymore. So that gives me confidence going into this game. And man on offense, let's run the pill. We were just talking about our guys. We have love for all of them. Twenty six nine five. All of them can do that thing they started last week. Let's build off that. I think they might have cracked the code. And then also bump, can we get can we get our guy DK involved in here?
Man? Please, let's do it.
We say eight hundred and twelve yards he has, yeah, give him about a buck a buck twenty in a touchdown.
He's due.
Man, it's been quiet, but he's made some clutch catches down the stretch man, So let's get him involved and let's keep gino up right. It looks beautiful seeing them operate from a clean pocket. No sacks show the nation. Come on, Ben, Seahawks are for real and your action Greens on Sunday Night football is get it.
